Hawa Koomson declares bid for NPP National Women’s Organiser position

Former Fisheries Minister Hawa Koomson has announced her intention to vie for the position of National Women’s Organiser within the New Patriotic Party (NPP). In a post on Facebook, Madam Koomson disclosed that she had visited NPP presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, at his home and then submitted her nomination at the party’s headquarters.

She explained that her decision to contest is aimed at strengthening the Women’s Wing ahead of the 2028 general elections. Madam Koomson emphasized that the NPP is at a critical juncture, with the forthcoming leadership expected to significantly influence the party's future and Ghana's democratic landscape. She criticized the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), alleging that the government is steering the country in the wrong direction.

Madam Koomson highlighted that the NPP Women’s Wing will be pivotal to the party's campaign to regain power, but she stressed the need for bold and courageous leadership. Her bid is not merely to hold the position, but to lead a dynamic and well-organized women’s wing capable of rallying support for the party ahead of the 2028 elections.

Madam Koomson explained that her ambition extends beyond holding a position, to being instrumental in securing victory for the NPP and President Bawumia. She expressed her commitment to the party and invited NPP supporters, especially women, to join her campaign.
